[QUOTE="hktr, post: 36981, member: 3016"] Having just completed the GDL this summer, I know firsthand it can be tough! I hope some of this advice may be helpful to you: [LIST] [*]As you say you are unsure what went wrong, I think the best thing to do would be to talk to your tutors if you haven't already. Beyond this, try to look critically at any evidence you have at hand (i.e. mock exam scripts, compare and contrast specimen/past paper answers and your answers etc.) to determine how to improve. [*]In terms of specific exam preparation, the exams are fairly formulaic and you can definitely question spot (within reason!). For me, I found it better to revise a smaller number of topics well rather than to spread myself out too thin. [*]I also used the yourGDL notes as a starting point for my revision notes (I was at ULaw - I imagine there are equivalent study guides/notes for BPP if you go there). Personally, I found them great for getting the lay of the land and making sure you're familiar with key cases and concepts. I would highly recommend having a look online at these (there are samples available) to see if they would work for you. [/LIST] Please feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk more. I hope things turn out fine for you! [/QUOTE]
